Dinner Anyone

It all began when I gave in to their pleadings and let them have straws at the dinner table.
It was a matter of seconds before Hudson calls out, “look guys, gooey!” And of course we all look and there hanging down from his nose is his straw.
And that’s all it took, 101 Ways to Use a Straw at the Dinner Table, was in the making. Look for it in stores this spring.
FIRE IN THE HOLE! Edison yells as he blasts spaghetti noodles through his straw.
A grin of buck teeth spread from ear to ear on each of the four boys with straws attached on their two front teeth.
Isaac is proudly displaying an arrangement of straws in between his toes.
Cameron with a semi smile and an I give up expression nods in the direction of Hudson.
Slowly I look over to see Hudson with his head tilted back glugging down a bottle of parmesan vinaigrette salad dressing.
Isaac has resorted to apple art and has sparked a competition as he punctures holes through his apple slices with his straw and exclaims, "Swiss cheese!”
Everest tiring of the pasta cannons is inspired by Isaac and begins to create art of his own, meticulously carving a man’s face out of his apple slice and other fine fruit sculptures.
Soon everyone seemed to be getting into the sculpting.
At least we were focused now.
